Future of Blitz7th June 2025
For me, as much as I love Fred & PB, I do not like the 3D side of it -- too complex for me. DB & B3D were perfect for my mediocre 3D needs and simple enough I could wrap my head around them. |

Lee, from the beginning, always said DB was inspired by AMOS. The IDE literally killed a brand new $500 19'' CRT monitor within a month and a half. Monitors did not have digital switching yet for resolution changes and still used a mechanical relay. Fr*snip* |

Digital hoarding is good, IMHO. Granted I lost 98% of my backups going back to '79, but I equally lost 98% of my physical (non digital) belongings.I prefer digital stuff if it is backed up online, by either myself or the company. That is the only r*snip* |

I won't be joining, but IMHO, you should open it up to the languages in the Blitzverse. Some, like me, preferred others over Max. Blitz is a pretty tiny community now, and you further reduce it by only targeting Max, IMHO.Wish you luck with it, at *snip* |

So, roughly 20% for an hour of play would mean around 5 hours of gameplay? Not too horrible.Can it be used while charging, like if you were on the go and had one of the USB C battery packs made for charging? |
